Surprised to find this cheap can for a buck at moon pop n beer. Pours crystal clear very light pale with a foamy white head. Yes, looks just like any other american macro light pale lager. Nose is simple clean pale lager with a tad of metallic odor. First taste tells me this is a little more than a light pale lager, its got a little pilsner sharp bite in there. Has a taste similar to many premium pale lagers I've had. Yes, quite light and somewhat watery on the palate and it does have some pils attributes that linger after each slug. Co2 level is quite nice, somewhat refreshing in that aspect. In the middle I'm still thinking this is more than a macro style pale lager. I bet many macro lager lovers will say there is a bit more bitterness in there than they care for. After tasting many domestic pilsner, good and bad, I'd say this falls into the average category of that style. JMHO. Just curious what kind of hops are actually used for the 'mild floral hops' hehehh, wondering if they truly were noble. That pointed pils sharp, almost astringent, domestic pilsner bitter bite really sets in on the finish.

Can. For a hazy IPA, this brew pours a fast fading white head on top of a practically clear pale. Maybe at the bottom of the can I'll get some dregs to make a cloud. Nose is typical high hopped perfume. Taste is nothing special, typical IPA high hop-forwardness, delivers nasty rude awakening, bold bitter profile, regular old piney resinous notes. So aggressively hopped style of them all. If you like bitter floral, bitter earthy, bitter citrusy, bitter piney, fruity, and yes once more, bitter flavor notes, you’ll like this happy BS. No, I don't like the style, but it was so cheap, I couldn't resist the tick. It was worth torturing my buds.

From a can this stuff pours slight haze on pale. No head. Nose is mild BO on top of some sweet fruity perfume. Oddly reminds me of some people of the feminine variety I've met. Taste is big fruity bitter impact. This brew means business on yer taste buds. Difficult for me to get along with. Seems to be haughty, conceited, self-important opinionated, egotistic and full of itself. However, it does have a decent level of carbonation and is not as viscous or mouth coating as many domestic IPA. In the middle I keep trying to knock this back, but the bitterness keeps rising up to kick the ass of my girlie lager lovin taste buds. Whew. On the label it says orange, tangerine and melon. Not sure if I'm gettin any of that; its just one rudely on maxi style IPA.There, you have it. Nasty gigga Nellie. Somebody give me a Midol.

Bought the can as pictured. See the clear pale brew with a slight orange tint and a foaming off white head that eventually fades. Smell a touch of sweetness on the malt. Taste a tad of bitterness on top of a malty brew. Notice the mild sweetness which does not go cloy. Feel the nice level of carbonation with a mild cutting edge. Experience the slowly building bitterness in the middle. Recognize the overall quaffability does not live up to Trader José Dark Premium or Michelob Amber Bock. Know that its on par with Point Classic Amber and Bud's Freedom Reserve.

Can from kroger in cincy. This pour is slightly hazy pale, head immediately fades. Aroma is odd nose of BO and pine sap perfume. Taste the rubber inner tube, hand soap, diesel, turpentine, pine tar sap and rotting fermenting green grapefruit rinds, all with a a little added carbonation to the food processor liquid, hehehh. There, you have it. Tons of IPA have been flooding the market for over 15 years, and they practically all taste the same; terribly bitter. The IPA wave has never crashed as I predicted, and hoped. It used to be macro pale lager was the ubiquitous beer, now its the poorly made IPAs. If you gave up on IPAs after your first 5 or 100, supposedly you’re missing out on tons of IPA that could be perfect for your tastes. Like watching the 15 different godzilla films from japan, with english translations. For me, this is just another of the quadrillion IPA out there which are frightfully bitter max on style. My palate will never mature enough to appreciate the IPA style. Blah. You like IPA? Put this on yer bucket list, I'm sure you'll dig it.

Cheap can from kroger cincinati. Quite dark and clear with a rouge tinge shining thru. Head fades rapidly. Mild holiday combo spice aroma. FYI, I really don't care for these spice medley holiday brews, there aint many out there that I'm attracted to. First big gulp of this is exactly as expected; a winter ale over spiced bomb. Very little carbonation makes this quite mouth coating fer sher. Many ales are difficult enough without trying to cover up those ill ale attributes with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and orange peels. Whew, in the middle I think I'm getting some leather on top of the compound. Now also perceiving a little warming sensation from the amalgam. Hoping this mishmash will provide enough brain numbing effect for a positive outcome. Yea, maybe I'm finally getting some calming outcomes near the bottom of the can. Just possibly I'm starting to get used to it? Oh well, back to reality, in the end its just another common domestic miscellany assortment and array of winter spices, added to beer. There you have it.

Cheap can at chalet. Pour is lemon yellow pale and clear. Head fades immediately. Very nice real lemon nose. But hey, the first taste is dull lemon pledge, lemon furniture cleaning polish. A little difficult initially. Very dry and dull. No sweetness to speak of, typical lager fruit beer. Bitter back end in the middle. Quite arduous an challenging for a macro pale lager lover. Lots of ill mannered incivility. Carbonation is OK, but nothing special, could use more. In the end, if the aroma wasn't so good I'd have scored this 2 points lower, blah. Less than average fruit beer. Come on Paladin, you make much better tasting beers than this fruity letdown.
